Barry Manilow may be coming to Glasgow following social media post

Glasgow Times21 hours ago
Barry Manilow, best known for his huge 1978 hit Copacabana (At the Copa), has Glaswegians buzzing after updating his profile picture on Facebook.

(Image: Image of Barry Manilow) Earlier this evening, Manilow changed his profile picture to a black background with the word Glasgow in white block letters.
As there are plenty of places in America called Glasgow, there's no telling if Manilow is referring to Glasgow, Scotland or somewhere in the states.
However, Manilow's Scottish fans are certainly hoping he is returning to the country.

One person said: "Please let it be Glasgow, Scotland."
Another said: "Please be Scotland!"
A third wrote: "Just googled and there are 21 places in the USA with Glasgow in their names. I'm in the UK and would be very surprised if its Glasgow, Scotland. We can only dream."

Manilow previously performed at the OVO Hydro in 2016 as part of his Farewell Tour.
He previously said the tour was his way of thanking everyone for their years of support…one last time.

Real Housewives of London's Juliet Mayhew hits out at 'ridiculous' co-star amid feud

The new reality series kicks off in with a big bust-up and promises more drama It's fights, camera, action as The Real Housewives of London gets off to an explosive start. Socialite Juliet Mayhew is at the centre of an almighty barney in the first episode and gives us all the juicy details of what went on behind the scenes – and how it's still rumbling on. ‌ Juliet is one of six glamorous and filthy rich women launching the famous franchise in the capital. Dripping in jewels and kitted out in couture, it was handbags at dawn as Juliet and rival Panthea Parker locked horns over an old gripe from before the cameras started rolling. ‌ ‌ Iran-born Panthea, who is married to a top lawyer, took aim at every rich person's Achilles heel – their diamonds. An insulted Juliet explains: 'She goes on the show and says my beautiful engagement ring is fake. At the premiere, I'm wearing an insane emerald and covered with diamonds from Boodles. They're close family friends… and she says I borrow clothes.' Juliet, who lives in a £6million Kensington townhouse and also owns a beachside property in St Mawes, Cornwall, adds: 'It was quite ridiculous. Someone who likes to take someone down to build themselves up… it's very sad. But it's drama and everyone loves that.' Lifestyles of the rich and the soon-to-be famous, eh? The knives may be out but mum-of-two Juliet has brushed off the conflict. She tells me: 'It's like water off a duck's back. If that's the best you can come up with, we're in for a ride…' And it sounds like viewers will be, too. The Real Housewives shows, in cities such as New York and Beverly Hills, have made household names of stars such as Lisa Vanderpump and Luann de Lesseps. I can see memes and viral moments aplenty coming from the London show, with straight-talking Juliet at the centre. She explains: 'I'm an Aussie. We wear our hearts on our sleeves. People are gonna love or hate me. It's like Vegemite, right?' ‌ Stylist Juliet Angus, model-turned entrepreneur Amanda Cronin, fashion designer Karen Loderick-Peace, and cake supremo Nessie Welschinger make up the rest of the ensemble. They launched the series with a glamourous premiere this week. Comedian Katherine Ryan is hosting the series and said it was a "dream opportunity". ‌ We'll see the girls totter around London from Belgravia to Chelsea, hosting lavish dinners, eating in fancy restaurants and shopping at boutique design houses. They even escape to a Scottish castle that Juliet and her husband have invested in. But it won't be all champagne and excess, says singer, actress, entrepreneur and interior designer Juliet. She is also a passionate campaigner and charity ambassador, and is keen to show that side of herself. Juliet is helping to empower women in business and recently launched an eco-friendly soap bar that is bringing work to struggling communities in the Dominican Republic. ‌ She hopes to tempt one of her celeb mates on to the show for the next series, such as Aussie actress and singer Holly Valance. She says: 'Holly is one of my closest ride-or-dies. We've been through lots of highs and lows together. 'She's probably one of the smartest women I know and she'll tell me it as it is. She'll absolutely floor everyone.'

‘For crying out loud' fume shoppers as chocolate advent calendar ALREADY on shelves at UK supermarket

One expert argues that shopping for Christmas early means you'll bag the best deals XMAS COMES EARLY 'For crying out loud' fume shoppers as chocolate advent calendar ALREADY on shelves at UK supermarket Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DESPITE the UK basking in glorious sunshine and with still plenty of time left of August, some shops are sneaking in early Christmas treats. Fed-up shoppers took to social media to name and shame one supermarket after noticing an Advent calendar on its shelves. 2 The fancy Advent calendar is already in stores Credit: Facebook The shop in the firing line is B&M, after a photo of the Guylian countdown treat was shared on New Foods UK's Facebook. "For crying out loud, it is only August! Some of us haven't had our summer holiday yet," one moaned, adding angry-face emojis. Another pointed out: "The way the chocolate is going in b&m during this heat, I would hate to think what it would be like in Dec!" "It's bloody August!" a third echoed. "Can't we just enjoy summer? We'll have months of this to come," argued a forth. But not everyone was annoyed by the bargain retailers forward thinking. One person tagged her husband and wrote: "Please do not pass by this in B&M without buying me one!!" Another tagged a friend and said: "Get looking early. I'd like one of these please." The £12 calendar is filled with three different flavours of the iconic Belgian chocolates. From December 1 to 24, behind each door is a milk truffle, original seashell, or salted caramel delight. And it's not just Advent calendars that the bargain store is flogging. Another picture of seasonal goodies was shared on Dansway Gifts and Bargains UK Facebook Group. "Festive Chocolate Selection Boxes are BACK at B&M," one shopper wrote. "A few we found whilst in store today, there's lots of other Christmas chocolate to choose from!" But one disappointed customer penned: "We've not even finished summer yet or had Halloween. "I swear Christmas gets earlier and earlier every year, makes you wonder how long these chocolates sit there before we buy and save for Christmas." Another added: "Too soon for Christmas but I'd still scoff them." While it may feel premature to start stocking up on Christmas treats, bargain hunters often bag better deals in the off-season. In fact, one expert has shared why now is the ideal time to buy your festive decorations, and where to buy them. 2 B&M is also flogging selection packs of chocolates Credit: Alamy

Each packet contains six strips of chewy sour candy. One shopper shared the find on the Facebook group Snack Reviews - and hundreds of people were commenting excitedly. "Oh my god I haven't eaten them since I was a child! They are amazing!" one person raved. Another begged their friend: "Please if you ever see these, I will give you the money for 10 packets, I haven't seen these since I was a child." A third person said: "I remember these from the 80s, only they came in little mesh bags with a little clasp on the end." And, referencing another blast to the past, another person wrote: "Remind me of the ones used to get in Woolworths in a net as a kid." Others said they had spotted the sweets on holiday in countries like Spain and Portugal. The return of the retro sweet It comes as other supermarkets have also been reintroducing retro sweets. Sainsbury's, Tesco and Morrisons recently brought back the iconic 80s Opal Fruits - a whole 27 years after they were axed. Nostalgic candy with '50 cent taste' could be wiped from shelves for good after 120 years The individually wrapped chewy squares were rebranded as Starburst in 1998. Meanwhile B&M fans were in a frenzy after spotting Horlicks Original Tablets back on shelves. The chewable version of the malted drink originally launched in the 1930s and was given to troops in WW2 to help boost their energy. They had disappeared by the time the 2000s came around - but now they're in B&M for £1.75. Shoppers were also delighted when Sainsbury's brought out a dupe of a classic noughties sweet. The Rowntree's Bursting Bugs first hit shelves back in 2000 but were later discontinued. Fans loved their creepy crawly shapes and gooey filling. Now, Sainsbury's has brought out Bugs & Beetles Sweets that look almost identical.
